Copy Menu System for Content

  • [ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. Please do not use Developing with WordPress for these topics. ]

    I am wondering if there is any way to duplicate the way the core menu builder works?

    I would like to be able to select elements (posts, pages, etc.) in the same way that the menu system does. So that I can generate a new composite page with all of the content selected in it. This seems like it should be a core function regardless, but since it is not, could someone provide some insight as to where to look and how to effectively create a content selection and order system that almost exactly duplicates the menu builder?

    I don’t see why that should be the case. If content is supposed to appear together, it should all be on the one page.

    Gutenberg, the editor currently slated for 5.0, is more modular, but is still about page content all existing on the one page.

    You could use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields (you’d need the paid Pro version for this), to create a Repeatable Post Object field that you could then modify your template to pull in the content from the selected pages.
